Love this dress!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Loved this dress! Loose but still form fitting enough to be super cute. Wore it to a girls night out with flats to dress it down and got a ton of compliments! The dress is almost a little short but not quite. Very beautiful! Just rented for a second time for a high school reunion - still love it!

Seeing all of my friends, and feeling great!

Wore this to a friend's winter wedding welcome dinner party. The dark purple color was fantastic, and the fit was extremely flattering. Only problem was that it was SHORT. Like can't raise my arms short. I rocked it anyway, received a ton of compliments, and kept my arms down.

Loved how everybody turned to stare when we walked in-- in a GOOD way!

I am 5'11", 140 lbs, and I rented the 4 and 6. When I tried them on, they both seemed a little big but the 4 fit fairly well. I know it's the style of the dress, but I felt like it was very wide and lacked any sort of shape-- tried adding a belt but that didn't work. Both sizes were clearly too short for the conservative wedding I was attending, but I wore the dress the next night out to dinner with black tights and black bootie heels. When we walked into the restaurant, I swear- every single person to look (probably because I was very tall, but I also felt fabulous in the dress!). It worked fine with the black tights for a night out, but if I lifted my arms at all it barely kept my butt covered! Like others said, it did have a slight purplish sheen to it- if it were slightly longer, I'd want to own this dress.

Dress it up or down!!!

I had originally planned to wear this outfit a little differently but a cold weather snap forced me to change things up. This dress went from "sweet and proper" to "chic rocker" with ease. I paired with black boots, tights, black leather moto jacket, and simple chain necklace. Lots of compliments and so comfortable. I would rent this again, so much you can do with it.

Wrong size but still liked it.

Very pretty dress. They only had a 2 so it was a bit too big but super comfortable. Still a very pretty dress. Wore to dinner and show in NYC during winter and was pretty warm despite being short and lacy. Has some stretch so you can move in it.

Nice Dress, good for adding accessories

I rented this dress for a wedding. It was a little plain so I added a belt and necklace to it. I got a lot of compliments on it. I loved the short length and the lace fabric, especially the arms. I also liked the scoop in the back.

Adorable dress.

This dress was adorable. A little big in the midsection but not enough to keep me from wearing it. I received compliments before even getting off the elevator. Like others reviewed, it would be short for someone taller, but it hit me perfectly mid thigh because I am on the shorter side.

Simple but cute!

Ordered this as a backup dress for a wedding and ended up wearing it to the rehearsal dinner. Ordered the size I usually wear: it's stretchy and loose so it's easy to fit into (no need to size up w/ a backup). May be loose yet it's cut in a way where you'll still see some curves. It's short, so it gets its character/sexiness from there. Got lots of compliments and it was super comfortable!

Loved this dress! Comfortable yet flattering.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this to a 30th birthday party and it was the perfect amount of dressy. I ordered a 6 and an 8, both fit fine but I went with the 6 so it was less boxy. A lot of people said the dress is really short but I didn't think it was inappropriate. I paired it with black nylons so it was more conservative and it worked perfectly. The boat neckline is super flattering and no necklace was needed! Definitely recommend this!

Simple & pretty

I got this dress sent to me when my original dress did not fit. I am 5'4 and did not have an issue with it being too short. This is a very comfortable dress to wear, not too loose & not too tight. This is not a "stand-out" dress but for a night out it did the trick!

Another Shoshanna winner - perfect party dress!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Shoshanna is my favorite for a good party dress and this was no exception l - the lace was pretty and perfect for my 26th birthday party. You could definitely make this dress dressier with accessories or dress it down - I wore it with black tights and flats. It was incredibly comfortable. My only warning is it is short - for taller girls, definitely size up or wear tights. Overall, great dress!

Fun dress! Made very well and felt great.

I received so many compliments on this dress! It was beautiful and comfortable!!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to a good friends wedding, I'm between a size 10 and 12. The 12 was a smidgen too big, but overall the fit was true to size. The dress looks super short on the model. But was just the right length for my 5'4 hight. I would definitely wear this dress again.

Comfortable yet glamorous!

Loved this dress! It was comfortable to dance in yet I still felt great! The material was light so this dress can be worn through the spring and fall without being too hot. This dress does run large so size down for your backup size. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and wish I had the 2 to try on ( the 4 felt a little loose but wearable ) the length was just perfect but may be short on tall gals.
I paired this dress with " putting on the ritz" necklace by Kate Spade for $15!
Another successful experience with RTR!

Rented for a wedding - ended up wearing as a day dress!

Loved the dress when I got it, but it was way too short to wear with heals for the wedding that I was attending. Ended up wearing it with flat sandals the day before - it made a great casual day dress!

Warm and comfortable

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This was for a fall wedding and it worked out perfect! It runs true to size and I wore the 4 for the evening. It is a tad on the short side, and I'm only 5 feet tall, so if you're on the tall side expect it to be very short. Got a few complements on it during the evening; probably would not rent again, but it served its purpose and I love Shoshanna!!

The dress fit perfectly and it was the size I normally wear, I was a bit concerned since I had my son a month ago that the dress might be too tight it was just right! Classy and lace what more could you want , it is a bit on the short side so if your extremely tall the dress might be too short I'm 5'3 118 pounds

Comfortable and cute!

I rented this dress for an auction and gala. It was comfortable but dressy. It was the perfect length on me but would be pretty short for a formal event if you're taller. It can easily be dressed up or down depending on what kind of event you're going to. I received compliments all evening. Another great experience with RTR. (All of us in this picture are wearing dresses from RTR!)

Pretty, fun, flirty, & comfortable!

I typically wear a size 10-12, it varies depending on the dress. The size 10 fit perfectly and was extremely flattering! I felt so slim. Got so many compliments on the color, and was so comfortable to wear all day!

Elegant and flattering

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this as a bridesmaid dress. It looked beautiful on, I got a ton of compliments, and it was comfortable too! The lace is really gorgeous, and the color is a rich deep gray.
I wore the size 2 which fit my large bust (38" circumference around the fullest point). It hit a little above the knee, so length wasn't an issue for me.
Can't wait to rent another Shoshanna dress!

This dress is gorgeous and classy!

Wore this dress for a Quincenera party. Got lots of compliments. This a really nice and classy dress. Very flattening too. I suggest to wear it with tights for fall/winter parties. It's perfect to pair with pumps.
I just have to commend rent the runway customer service. You guys are amazing! I got an email a day before my delivery that my back up size (size 12) for this dress has been damaged and can no longer be delivered to me. So Madison from RTR told me to choose 5 different dresses at any price, and she will check which one is available, and she will send it together with my first choice of size for this dress. Madison was so patient to help me look for other back up dresses because my first 5 choices were not available. She was so kind to find and suggest similar dresses for me. I did choose a back up dress from one of her suggestions, and she was so kind to send me 2 different sizes just to make sure that I have something to wear for the party. So all in all, I got 3 dresses. :) Eventually, I did wear my original choice of dress, which is this gorgeous grey Shoshanna dress. I was just so thankful to Madison and RTR for a superb customer service. :) You guys really make sure that your clients get to have a beautiful dress for a special event. Thank you again Madison for all the help! Keep it up guys!

Loved this dress. Wore as bridesmaid dress for an outdoor wedding. It was a hit, classy with the lace so you could definitely dress it up but I was still able to pull off in less formal setting. Great fit throughout but very, very short! Not the best if you plan to be seriously cutting a rug on the dance floor!

A little short but fun comfortable and flattering

Very comfortable, stretchy and not too form-fitting. I wish it was an inch longer but I got over it and received many compliments at my winter high school reunion. For shorter or non-toothpick legs, I would recommend a booty rather than very high heels.

Just okay

Size worn: NONE

I wore it in the beginning of the night but changed before we left. Just didn't feel
Comfortable in it. The 4 fit but so did the 6 and couldn't determine which size to wear and didn't feel like it was flattering.

Perfect dress!

This dress certainly met my expectations. It was so comfortable, I was totally fine with wearing it all night. I found that it was nice and flattering, and loved that it had arms as I hate keeping mine uncovered. Some reviews do state it was too short, I did not find that a problem, but am only 5'2. I would certainly rent this again!
